Corrections and clarifications

• Two recent articles (New Met chief to attend PC’s funeral on her first day in role, 10 April, page 8; In uniform or not, our public servants deserve respect, 14 April, page 36) referred to PC Keith Palmer’s body having lain at rest in the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft at the Palace of Westminster the night before his funeral, and said this was an honour “usually reserved for heads of state”. It is an extremely rare honour, but not one given to heads of state. Over the past century it is thought to have been bestowed on only two other people: Margaret Thatcher and Tony Benn.

• We carelessly converted $1.36m to £1.1bn (Run off the road, 13 April, page 6, G2). Sterling has fallen since the EU referendum, but not that dramatically. The figure should of course have been £1.1m.
